User Account UpdateUser Account Update - October 2018

Unfortunately the ecards part of this site is no longer very busy and the upkeep of the user account side of the site is no longer cost-effective.

Therefore all jimpix user accounts will be deleted on 1st January 2019.

All associated data such as reminders, email addresses in your address book and ecards older than 1 month old will be deleted.

Please make copies of any data you don't want to lose.

Until that time, you will no longer be able to send ecards with a future send-date, edit or copy cards, or do anything else that was previously associated with the user-account side of the site.

Ecards which have already been queued to be sent with a future send-date will be honoured and sent at the appropriate time

You will still be able to send ecards after the user-account side of the site has gone, but just as a "regular" user...

Africa Photos198 new photo ecards this evening. They're also available in gallery format. In October last year my family and I were fortunate enough to go on holiday to South Africa and Botswana for 10 days. I've finally sorted the photos out and put them on the site.

AliveAlive

We traveled three weeks through the northern Himalayas of India, from Himachal Pradesh to Kashmir. It was a journey from valleys to peaks up to 5000m. We experienced a massive amount of different cultures, three major religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, met incredible people, saw never seen before nature and walked right next to the wildest animals. ItÂ´s nearly impossible to recreate this experience and our feelings and to compress it to just 3 minutes. So I tried to express the spirit of our journey. What we felt more than anything else, is to be alive.

Beautiful!

Love, DadI added a very powerful short film this evening called Love, Dad. You can read more about it on Short of the Week:

But this sums it up:

On the outskirts of Cairo, lies an entire city made out of, and built on top of discarded trash. Itâs home to the Zabaleen - âpeople of the garbageâ - who collect, and recycle everything from old food, plastic wrappers, tires, to aluminum cans. Each family has a specific role, from the smallest child to the oldest grandparent, sorting the waste and continuing the family business. 25 years ago, A woman named Maggie Groban, known as âMama Maggie,â did something unexpected. She started a school right in the heart of Garbage City. A first for the Zabaleen. Suddenly, families had a hard choice to make. One that would surely cost them immediate profit loss by not putting the kids to work. However, a few brave parents took a risk - and put their kids in school.

The Weight of LightThe Weight of Light - a very interesting documentary (5 minutes long) - Off-grid communities such as those in sub-Saharan Africa can pay thousands of times as much as the rest of us for their energy. Designer Jim Reeves has developed a simple, low-cost gear-train and generator that uses a descending weight to power a perpetual light source. Children can do their homework and study, families and friends can eat together and interact after dark adding new dimensions and possibilities to their lives.

New Video Ecard RoundupTraffic Stop - a documentary: Alex Landau, who is African American, recalls how he nearly lost his life following a traffic stop with the Denver police. He and his mother, Patsy, who is white, remember that night and how it changed them both forever. No charges were pressed against the officers who beat him up.

Onward, a documentary about a man from Mongolia, learning to hunt with eagles to reconnect with his past.

Make Inishturk Great Again - a documentary about a small island in the West of Ireland, which has offered refuge for Americans should Donal Trump become President.

High Chaparral - a documentatory about a Wild West theme park in Sweden offering a safe haven for Syrian Refugees.

On a lighter note, Home Suite Home - a short film starring Gene Bervoets, Thekla Reuten and Slimane Dazi. Nothing escapes the attention of veteran hotel inspector Ludwig, from the timing of his wake-up call to the art on the wall and the wine with his dinner. The consummate professional has practically built a home for himself inside his job. A chance meeting with a much younger, female inspectorâand several bottles of wineâhelp him to break his routine.

Breaking Point - a powerful representation of the desire to protect children.

And finally, on a very light note, donât forget The Naughty Princess.

June 2016 UpdatesI've not sent an update for a long time - apart from one last week about Emoji designs, which I have now moved into the All Sorts section, including activities, cute animals, flags, food and drink, nature, objects, people, religion, symbols and travel and places.

I've added some wonderful new video ecards in recent months - showing what a varied and amazing world we live in...

There isn't enough time in one person's life to keep up with all of the videos added to the internet every day!
